So I definitely make a distinction between someone tactfully saying no thank you & someone lying or whatever you want to call it. In the first case, ok & fine, I got the message. Dance with whomever you like, even that dance. I'm fine with that. In the second case, pointing at your back & saying "I can't dance, my back hurts" & then accepting another invitation seconds later right in front of me, is a different story altogether.

"We are not hated because we practice democracy, value freedom, or uphold human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in Third World countries whose resources are coveted by our multinational corporations. That hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism and in the future, nuclear terrorism."
